Why do I need this course?

Have you been to singing teaching seminars, masterclasses or vocal conferences and not understood what on earth the presenter is talking about when addressing the structures of the voice? Maybe your initial education didn’t actually cover vocal anatomy?

It can feel difficult to engage with learning anatomy because the study can be boring (long latin names), time consuming (what attaches to what and moves where), and ultimately 2D (textbook illustrations).We set out to change the existing anatomical education in the field of voice by gathering the world’s top anatomists and speakers to guide you to a greater understanding. Naming the parts is one aspect of this learning; the parts we work with are small, with a complex interaction in healthy voice use.

What will I get from this course?

The Fundamental Anatomy (level 4) course is for every vocal coach, singing teacher and speech therapist who feels lacking in their knowledge of the 3D mechanics of the voice. This course gives you a wonderful 365 day resource to dip in and out of, answering your basic questions, filling gaps in your knowledge and sustaining and supporting your further studies with Vocal Health Education.

On your journey through Vocal Health Education’s Fundamental Anatomy course, you will be met with challenging information which can seem overwhelming at times, considering we have some of the greatest experts on the planet presenting this material.

This resource is for you to double, triple and even quadruple check that what you are saying to your students resembles the most valid presentation of the evidence base we currently have. Knowledge of anatomy helps us synthesise the understanding of functional and pathologic patterns, and ultimately facilitate change.
